Let’s take a look at the team news as Arsenal take on Sheffield United away at Bramall Lane. Considering that the Blades have won 3 Premier League games all season, and the Gunners have won all 6 of their last 6 league games, the away side look to be the favorites for this game.
As the title race becomes tighter with every passing week, it’s good that Arsenal carry in their best form into the last stages. Mikel Arteta’s men are just as capable of winning the title as Liverpool or Manchester City. The last matchup against Sheffield United went very well for Arsenal, having won 5-0. The North Londoners are hoping to do the same, if not with a bigger margin this time around.
Injury/Suspension List:
Good news for the Arsenal fans, because Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko could all be back for the game against Sheffield United. They are all awaiting late fitness tests, but if they pass, they will be back in the squad.
Jurrien Timber is still out after tearing his ACL, but has been slowly getting back to training. He is still far from match-fit, and will only come back at the end of the season if he is lucky.
Meanwhile, the Blades have not been so lucky with their injuries, as they have total 8 players out. Max Lowe, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Chris Basham, John Egan, Cameron Archer, Anis Ben Slimane and Daniel Jebbison are out with injuries. Mason Holgate is unavailable due to a red card suspension.
Player to Watch Out For – Gustavo Hamer
Gustavo Hamer has been the best player for Sheffield this season. He will be key to their fight in staying up. With his incredible football IQ, his impressively high defensive work rate, and his lightning speed (according to Sheffunitedway), he will be hard for the Gunners attackers to get past. One of Hamer’s most important assets is his distribution. He consistently shows his passing skills in the midfield, and is a natural leader.

Predicted Score:
Arsenal 6 – 0 Sheffield United
Arsenal are on a roll at the moment and Sheffield United stand no chance. With the Blades having so many injuries and being at the bottom of the Premier League table, there really is no other outcome except an win for the North Londoners. The Gunners should be in for another goal fest with goals from Saka, Ødegaard, Havertz and Martinelli likely to come.
